  • LOL dont buy this shit game...Buy Gta LCS or VCS for psp

  • Ok. Cool, thank you for the video. It's awesome. But, it is also pointless, yes, you are showing the GRAHPICS between the 3, but.... it's the gameplay that makes a game. Personally, I like the DS version. Sure, it has no shadows on the signs, but 1: I was expecting GTA 2 graphics, maybe even GTA Advance, so yeah. And 2: I'd be driving way too fast to notice shadows on signs.... And another thing, the DS kinda wins because the touch screen thing enhances gameplay. SO,

    1 DS

    2 iPod

    3 PSP

  • @BittyandGaz Totally agree. But PSP should be 2nd. The iPod touch is so freaking hard to play with this game!

  • @BittyandGaz Lol. Obvious Nintendo fanboy is obvious.

  • @BlackopsNinja09 i pod touch??? ok psp have lines on its screen so what??? it seems better than ipod touch, example in psp you can see the shadow of the signs, on ipod touch the signs haven´t shadow...

  • @ivesaaron and the lines are there because of the Type of Screen a PSP has, Like filming with a Camera to capture your TV you get lines. Those lines ar not obviously there in game xD

  • @MrRhysReviews yes... now i know why....

  • psp go hands down

  • I dont care about graphics... i care about gameplay, if the graphics made a better game then the first GTA WOULDNT have turned into a sucess... and these games like SA, IV and others would possibly even not be existing now! better graphics doesnt make a better game. im a old school FEMALE (yes, believe it or not) GTA player and GTA: CW pleases me at iPod, DS, PSP... all of them are great.

  • psp wins once again

  • holy shit the ds sucks balls

  • DS version is the only one with cell shading, thus it is the prettiest. Like this comment if you're not a graphics whore.

  • @kroen

    All versions have the same gameplay. I'd rather have good graphics to go a long with that...

  • Comment removed

  • I really prefer the cel-shaded graphics. It gives it style!

  • what is wrong with everyone. I think the PSP's version had stupid graphics, it looks like they were trying to get all realistic and it just came out cheesy, along with its terrible gameplay, it just fails. The Iphone one looks fun, but seems a little more difficult since theres no buttons. The DS version is overall the best do to the awesome cel shaded graphics and nice gameplay.

  • to be honest im A BIG PSP FAN psp is the best but i just like ds one better psp gta's should stick to the console version types like vice city stories it just seems more fitting for the psp plus i hear on the psp the touch screen games are hard to do cuz u have to use the buttons but graphics wise psp wins and overall the three systems psp this game ds then psp then ipod(damn those controls look hard to deal with)

  • best graphics on psp but i prefer the iphone one cuz whenever i play games on a hand held system i dont feel like in playing a real game. idk how to explane but id rather play it on my touch then my psp cuz with the touch you have more stuff to do then just play the game

  • Great vid, well appreciated. Overall I rank the DS version 1st followed by the PSP and then the iPhone. Graphically, iPhone, PSP, DS imo. Game play wise, I hate how the iPhone is played which is because of it's lack of buttons.

  • 1. PSP

    2.iPhone/iPodtouch

    3.Nintendo DS

  • ds has the worst graphics so what. The ds has cool touch screen functions and I think the ds game is the best because it is the original, and I luv it :)

  • thats why I have ipod touch and psp AND NO nds

  • Gameplay on all three is about the same, apart from the small touch screen parts (hotwiring cars etc) on the iPhone and ds, which are cool. Graphics wise, PSP is best, iPhone just behind and DS way, way behind. It's also the cheapest on iPhone by a long way. But regardless, it's a fantastic game whatever console you play it on.

  • Man, Chinatown Wars on my iPod Touch sux ass! Not because of the game, the game itself is great! It's the problem Apple failes to mention when they advertise the iPhone/iPod Touch as a gaming device... the battery sux! I mean I play Chinatown Wars for 45 minutes on my iPod with full battery and after I got like half left. Yeah, nice game console you have there, Apple.

  • Well the psp version is the best in terms of graphics. The ipod touch graphics are almost the same graphics as the psp version. The ds sucks :P

  • wow, awesome video. sub'n

  • where did yo get the legend of Zelda skin?

  • BTW, the interactive factor of GTA on the iPhone makes it as fun as it is. The fact that you utilize the touch screen for breaking into the Ammunation trucks, scratchers, getting out of cars, breaking into cars, getting out of the water, various missions, etc. It may not have as good graphics, but it compensates with fantastic gameplay for arguably the best game all aroung I've ever seen on a "mobile" device.

  • this have to came out for ps2

  • They are not making ANY more ps2 games. It is outdated

  • :´(

    btw.. i think the iphone\ipod version of gta cw is better...

  • oh yeah! My Iphone is sooooo uber cool! I can chat and call and write and watch and play games with stupid onscreen controls and........................dea­d - battery sucked dry within minutes. I think your better off with a normal mobile phone that you can use nearly a week without recharching and a cfw-psp for gaming. :-D

  • Don't be jealous because you don't have one. They're the most innovative touch screen devices of our age. That's a fact and when you own one, you'll know why.

  • I bought this game for the ds the day i came out and i loooooved it, the grapichs was awsome( for a ds game) but these to other versions ( psp on ipod ) just feels so.. blah. I mean when a top down game has so good graphics why not just make a 3dperson game insted. The reason why Grand Theft auto chinatown wars is top down is because the ds cant handel a full 3d person gta.

  • Best handling is on DS and best graphics on PSP.

  • @kizikMC you cant be fucken serious Bro,

    best graphics on the PSP my ass in looks crapy as fuck.

  • what do u mean?

  • Get a psp.... i never seen such shitty graphics for psp... this is the only video with such shit graphics.

  • psp is epic fail with the umd minidiscs... games for the ipod are exactly how games on the go should be like. I dont wanna play an epic 80hour story rpg on my mobil device, i want cool arcady fun games that you can play for 20min when you go to work or something. And they're very cheep too. Only thing they could improve is battery life for gaming. While music/video its very nice but when you use the touchscreen all the time in a game it runs out a little too fast.

  • @clouds5 Yea then after those 20 minutes your iphone battery dies hahah. Iphone is for fags or softcore gamers...which are fags

  • @tviscool100 Well what ever^^ i generally dont like people using "fag" all over the place, that just sucks. But anyway... I have an ipod for listening to music/video, so the gaming is just a nice bonus. And for the travel distances i use my ipod the battery is fine.

    And well from the way you talk mr. hardcore, i guess i was already cutting off monsters heads with a chainsaw in Doom1 when you where still shitting your pants.

  • @clouds5 Yea with shitty ass controls and a horrible battery that will last during the game for like 1 hour or so

  • @kizikMC nah man, psp is better in both

  • just thinking of what i seen in dis video, played only on my DS, u know stick is helping a lot, but on PSP looks better.

  • What does it look better on iphone or psp?

  • @ natedogfresh

    *sights* with your ignorance

    It is a very plausible thing to happen, it all comes to the clock speeds sony decides to use

    there are many sites that support this rumor

    i mean look at the nvidia tegra chip "KID"

    I can assure you the psp2 will at least get original xbox like graphics

    being now a hybrid between ps1/ps2 graphics

  • PSP VERSION BEATS BOTH OF THESE.

  • @Eldwinn CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL

  • @guyboy625 man im so cool you don't even know bro!

  • @Eldwinn Actually, I personally think it is tied with the DS. Oh, wow, PSP graphics are flashy and glittery! DS has style. And, the touch screen greatly enhances gameplay on the DS.... iPhone/iTouch just sucks, I agree with that :)

  • i own a psp 1000 in 2009, now 2010 i have an iphone, i find iphone better, and things and files are smaller in size and more entertaining, where as psp's games are so huge and 90 percent of their games are rubbish, and so much hassle trying to get a pirated game working, since M33 is gone.

  • @DaKaaTube you're clearly havent hacked your psp.

  • @luzeal what?" you are clearly have not psps " WHAT???? english please, oh please, i've sold my psp since Alex stopped working on M33, TOO MUCH HASSLE JUST RUN ONE NEW GAME. iPhone takes 5min to load a game.

  • @luzeal you clearly haven't own an iPhone before, and you know you want to, too bad, your mama said no.

  • @DaKaaTube zzzZZZ I have an Iphone but i still use my psp to play games.

    And yea i hacked my PSP to GenD version 2.

    I'm playing assasins creed, Monster Hunter United and Killzone. downloaded all 3 within 10 minutes. Why the hate on PSP?? its a good gaming system

  • iphone has better controls than the PSP??

    You are sick in the mind man, very very sick

  • and how much is the game on psp again? 80 bucks? it's like 5 bucks only on the iphone.

  • lol 80 bucks... the 360 gta4 is only 45 or something like that

    the iphone is 10

    but yeahh i think going for the iphone version is better cause its cheaper...and more portable :)

  • Comment removed

  • Lol before being a smart ass and yelling out extremely wrong numbers you shold get your facts straight son.

    PSP $39

    ipod $10

  • Lol before being a smart ass and yelling out extremely wrong numbers you shold get your facts straight son.

    PSP 150

    iPod 650

  • have fun with that..

  • damn.. steering looks like a pain in the ass on the iphone.

    and why the hell does the iphone version have better graphics than the ds?

  • psp>Iphone>DS

    the iphone is awesome!

  • LOL i have an iphone dude...

    and i also have a psp and a ds.

    the graphics in the psp obiously are better. but the iphone is between the two.

    get a psp before you post that on youtube. :)

  • @er1ck194 YES! Im not the only one who owns a psp, a ds, and an ipod/ipod touch/iphone!

  • @er1ck194 the iphone version dosent has shadows

  • @er1ck194 ds is only better because of touch screen minigames.

  • its amazing on the iphone< couldnt have asked for more. The only thing my iphone can't do now is make coffee!

  • Okay, the psp has the best graphics. The iPhone has the best colors, ds has best controls. The iPhone vesion is a hybrid. It's also a third cheaper than the ds and psp. Which is why the iPhone verion is the best value.

  • gta cw on the iphone looks like a combination of the ds and the psp,the cars have outlines (from ds version)while the surroundings came from psp version

  • Since you have both versions... did you notice?

    how quiet Liberty City is without the pedestrian chatter. You can go rampaging through the streets and it seems everyone is yelling at you on the DS and PSP. It creates a noticeable lack of atmosphere on the iPhone when switching back from the other two versions.

    But seriously dude, dont get me wrong gta is one of the BEST iphone games , i play it most of the times, since my cousin has my psp

    i am not flaming the ipod, just stating the true

  • The textures in the PSP version are more crisp and detailed, higher quality textures

    psp features more vivid color better shadows, lighting, and reflections

    Psp lighting is superb look really good in cars and street lights

    iphone textures are rather blurry, and in scenes when the game zooms in to the (i.e when your are getting your guns training with Ling) the iphone version looks very pixelated and low res. Despite the fact of its higher res screen haha

  • a phone + gta.. can beat by a kid toy psp?lol

  • @ Enkei1989

    Now that i prove you why the psp version is better than the iphone in every aspect (graphics,controls,high res)

    your last call is the ipod 3g, which hardware is not even being used yet to develop games

    By the time games fully utilize the ipod 3g hardware... the PSP2 will be already released

    which is said to be a quad core beast more powerful than the original xbox

  • @PSP600HAX1 LOL funny psp2 specs- come back to earth

  • really?

    h t t p : / / t i n y 1 2 3. com / 1 k 6 3 (take out spacing)

    just by using Google you will find many reports that support the fact that Sony it is interested in using an hydra chip which is supposed to have 4 cores and be more powerful than the original xbox

  • who>cares

  • @PSP600HAX1 LOL LOL sure kid- until sony says anything I will believe that a psp will be more powerful than a quad core netbook pc. btw come back to earth

  • "& smoother frame rate on the iPod "

    smother frame rate my ass, that's bull shit and you know it

    do you even have the 2 version to compare

    psp version has the same fps if not better than the iphone

  • @ Enkei1989

    You don't read don't ya?

    i mentioned before that the ipod 3g and iphone 3gs are the only devices with better gaming capabilities

    BUT

    but guess what developers wont program ipod3g/iphone 3gs exclusive games yet

    there isn't a single game yet on the app store that fully utilizes the ipod 3g hardware.

    as the will leave out 90% of the idevice demography

    the only game that PARTIALLY uses the new hardware is need for speed shift

  • Can anyone explain why the game boots up so much quicker on the iPod...?

    It's like you start the app and Boom.. Your on the game already! lol

  • wow the DS has terrible graphics...

  • @ TheAdamDavo

    the ds has better minigames, and uses the mic to call a taxi

    thats about it, the stylus is mostly used for minigames and the map

    Bottom line

    psp has the best graphics, controls are just as good the ds if not better

    the ds has better minigames, and uses the mic

    the iphone is the cheapest, controls are sucky rather awkward, but i has better graphics than the DS.

  • The iPod Touch 532Mhz general-purpose ARM CPU. This may sound superior to the PSP's 333Mhz MIPS R4000 on paper, but consider that the PSP's CPU was designed specifically for gaming.

    In addition to this, the PSP has a much more robust GPU than Apple's offerings. If you doubt that the GPU is important, then replace your PC's nVidia 8800 card with a generic Triton and see how far you get in Crysis.

  • The iPod Touch 3G has a 600Mhz ARM CPU & 256mb of RAM.

    It kills the PSP. :D

  • Also dude..

    ... Do you notice the much higher resolution & smoother frame rate on the iPod version?

  • by the time games fully utilize the iphone 3gs hardware. The psp2 will be released already with is said to be a quad core beast.

    apart from the ipod 3g/iphone 3gs

    the PSP is still the most powerful gaming device of the three

  • Of course iPhone/iPod Touch wins.. It's more powerful out of the three devices here :)

  • 1. Iphone / Ipod Touch

    2.PSP

    3.DS The sound is horrible. The antialiasing is shit too

  • its a scam!!!

  • @ piphus

    of course this was a game meant for the ds, rockstar only ported the game to the psp and iphone taking advatage of the features of each device

    The psp could do so much better as previous psp gta titles show full 3d sandbox experience

    But guess what?

    the game still looked much better on the psp, had more conten and levels than the ds version

    psp controls were very well ported, they were as good if not better than the ds

    where the ds wins is in the minigames, and using the mic

  • Piphus please go troll elsewhere, all your arguments are biased to fit your needs

    1st FYI they dont sell those homemade stylus on the apple store

    2 even with the stylus it doesn't matter, the ipod controls are awkward

    3 the stylus on the ipod just doesn't cut it the minigames, it feels rather awkward, you might as well just use your fingers

    Than being said psp minigame controls are just as good as the iphone if not better

  • iphone graphics takes it. but the controls suck dick.

  • @ piphus

    OMFG GTFO hardvarz boy

    we all agree that the iphone had the WORSE controls in this game

    as far as mini games go they were designed for a stylus, not buttons or fingers.

    psp minigame controls are just as good as the iphone if not better

    and its not about the touch screen, this game in the iphone doesn't take any advantage of the touch screen it might as well have physical buttons

  • whats up with the PSPS lines on the screen to me that makes teh iPod graphics the best

  • Those lines you are mentioning are caused by the video camera smart ass

    and are present to a lower degree on the iphone and ds as well

    i has nothing to do to how the actual game-play looks like

  • oh ok

  • Thought so

    But yeah maybe you are right, the psp is going to die...

    when the powerhouse psp2 releases next year. duh!

  • @ franzken "and psp will die no more games" do you want me to make you a list of all the big titles that were released for the psp in 2009 and the ones that are set to come in 2010 It sure looks like a lot worthy games, noting close to "no more games" is the iphone going to get this year: mgs peace walker Final fantasy XIII Dante's Inferno Aliens vs. Predator SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3 Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
  • @ BostonCeltic10

    shesh dude you need to take a chill pill

    game wise the iphone still cant match either the psp or the ds

    psp and ds have much more wider gallery of real games

  • Yea but as far as this game goes i would much rather pay 10 bucks on an iphone/ipod or get it free at the "alternative app store" than spend 40 on it for psp and 20 on ds just because the graphics are slightly better

  • most of the good worthy iphone games are either multi platform handled tittles

    or really good gameloft ripoffs of console tittles

    don't get me wrong, i love what gameloft is doing, NOVA (hallo ripoff) its really GOOD

    all the other games are crap, java games ported to the iphone

    or good minigames

    most of the iphone games have less content than the psp/ds versions are awkward to use due to the lack of physical controls

    the appstore is flooded mainly with CRap games

  • @ franzken @BostonCeltic10

    You guys do realize that game wise the psp has more wider gallery of "real games"

    Just because the itunes app store has over 22.000 apps flooded with fart apps and what not that doesn't mean they are all games that can match the current generation of Handel consoles

    I f we gonna count one by one the REAL games the app store has to offer your wide variety of apps gets tiny

  • Graphics: 1.PSP 2.Iphone 3.DS Control: 1.PSP 2.DS 3.Iphone Mini-game controls 1.DS 1.Iphone 2.PSP
  • You psp fanboys better fuck off because more people buy iphones, not your shitty products with a lack of games.

  • its alright psp is a gamning device... i got a phone and i can play gta... beat that

  • Even the cut scenes images (you know the ones with the subtitles at the bottom) look better on the psp

    cut scene images lokk more high res and have more vivid colors on the psp

  • i got iphone and psp.. and psp will die no more games.. and many still apps are coming baby

  • One thing though

    i liked about the iphone version was the GPS control, it was a pretty neat interface to access the map and set objectives

  • iphone textures are rather blurry, and in scenes when the game zooms in to the (i.e when your are getting your guns training with Ling) the iphone version looks very pixelated and low res. Despite the fact of its higher res screen haha

    Bottom line

    The iPhone currently holds the advantage when it comes to pricing, and it is practical for iphone users (casual gamers)

    PSP/DS featuter better controls

    PSP has better controls than the iphone version, and BETTER graphics

  • psp best graphs

  • Now that i prove you wrong your argument about the iphone having the best controls from the ds lol

    I gonna move over the graphics department...

    The textures in the PSP version are more crisp and detailed, higher quality textures

    PSP feature more vivid colors

    PSP features better shadows, lighting, and reflections

    The lighting was something i intermediately noticed when switching from my psp to my ipod

    Psp lighting is superb look really good in cars and street lights

  • ohh guess what? i already found one thing the psp/ds version have and the iphone DOESN'T

    Since you have both versions... did you notice?

    how quiet Liberty City is without the pedestrian chatter. You can go rampaging through the streets and it seems everyone is yelling at you on the DS and PSP. It creates a noticeable lack of atmosphere on the iPhone when switching back from the other two versions.

  • what makes you say the iphone version is the best? your fanboish, maybe...

    U do relize touchscreen mini-games were designed for a stylus, not buttons or fingers.

    you utterly fail in your argument of "best of 2 worlds"

    CTWs doesnt take any advantage of the iphone touch screen

    Iphone controls of this game may as well be physic, iphone controls on CTWs are rather awkward, specially while driving and lack good targeting system for fighting

  • @ thepineapple1

    I base my epic thinking the fact that most if not all iphone games always have less content than the ds/psp versions

    besides that was just an opinion i will see if it is real or not as i play the game

    Also your comments look totally biased, wich makes me doubt you have both versions, and i really dont care if you do

  • @ thepineapple1

    "iphones screen is higher in resolution"

    It doesnt matter, games still look much better on the psp

    u do realize psp screen is much bigger ?

    u do realize psp gpu is much better?

    u do realize psp has a cpu specially dedicated to gaming not multi purpose like the iphone?

    u do realize PSP controls are much better than the iphone version?

  • why was this released for PSP ?

    psp could at LEAST run Vice City graphics

  • Also the PSP has all new missions that the DS others dont.

  • DS: Controls are OK. Has touch screen mini games. Poor graphics. Fast loading times.

    PSP: Superb widescreen graphics and good sounds. IMO the best controls. No touch screen mini games.

    iPhone: Good graphics, better than DS worse than PSP. OK sounds. Poor controls in comparison to the other two. Has touch screen mini games and the most portable.

    IMO the iPhone version gives you the best of the PSP and the DS versions and it is cheaper. However if i was to choose one id choose the PSP version.

  • my opinion is that the iphone is better. as it takes what were the best features from the ds touch screen, adds the resolution and enhanced texture of the psp version and u combine it to make the best one.

  • PSP version had the greatest graphics in this game although yeah the iphone one looked better than the DS, it doesn't match the psp graphics

    The psp version has much better lightning and shadows, better textures, it has more vivid colors, even the cut scene images looked more high res on the psp, and of course it feels better on the psp 4.3inch wide screen.

    The iphone version, needs to improve controls, awkward to get use to , specially the driving and enemy targeting

  • u do realize that the iphones screen is higher in resolution than the psp's?

  • I have both the ipod touch and psp version of CTW

    So no fanboi here

    The PSP version is definitely the BEST version of all in my opinion, it had more content than the ds and iphone version and the best graphics.

    content (i want to be wrong about this one, but lets face it, iphone games usually have less content than the psp and ds, besides the psp version was over 800mb and the ds even with low res graphics was 250mb i think)

  • so u base your epic thinking of "less content" on file size? damn you are smart. im sure that ur not aware of what "compression" means.and i also have both versions, and my opinion is that the iphone is better. as it takes what were the best features from the ds touch screen, adds the resolution and enhanced texture of the psp version and u combine it to make the best one.

  • PSP version looks AWESOME, too bad that the camera can't film in a higher frame rate, that would make the PSP version better.

  • iphone version looks better

  • I'm lovin' the iPhone version. The driving isn't as good as it is on the PSP, but I'm definitely won't be taking the PSP with me wherever I go like I do with the iPhone.

    Rockstar should look into the driving methods used in maybe other iPhone driving games like Real Driving and get a sense how it should be done on the iPhone

  • wow! the iphone version looks awesome!

  • One more thing... Car steering on iphone is preety bad, compared to PSP/DS... Maybe they should add option to steering by accelerometer like in Payback :(

  • PSP Go is sexy! But I need PSP2... Sony should speed up with creating this, if they wan't me to buy it.

  • Why did they make chinatown so cartoonish? Liberty city was ps2 graphicsq

  • DS=Crap...PSP=Iphone=awesome

  • ds version is childish..

    psp and iphone win this one

  • the DS version ist without any doubt the more enjoyable version, the controls are unbeatable. The PS version looks better and the ipod version is the most affordable with graphics close to PSP.

  • Here in Australia, $69.95 for this game on the PSP or DS, $12.99 on the iPhone. Doesn't take long to add up over multiple games!

    The PSP version is clearly the best, despite the lower screen resolution. I'm hoping Rockstar bring the character audio back in the iPhone version in an update, it needs it. Already it's the top grossing iPhone games titles. I'm hoping this makes other publishers take note and produce more high end games for the iPod Touch / iPhone platform.

  • the ds graphics are really crappy and id say psp/iphone are just about the same as eachother

  • Yeah, but the DS version has much better controls, second screen is very well utilized. If I had to choose, I would pick DS version over iPhone/iPod (unfortunately, I haven't played PSP version) But I'm sure every version is pretty good in comparsion to other games for respective "handhelds".

  • hehehhe

  • 1st

    Wow PSP and Ipod version kick ass

    to bad for NDS
